Although for some it might seem a bit odd to concentrate on Nokia Belle, Nokia´s 808 PureView provides us with a very good reason since it will run on Feature Pack 1. This latest update of Nokia Belle has already been launched on the Nokia 700, 701 en 603. We got the last one just a few day ago, so that gives us a nice view on what Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1 is all about.

Some may already feel completely comfortable with this OS. But for others – coming from another platform – it will be a new experience. We thought it would be a good idea to write a general introduction to Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1. For those who had some experience in the past, and for those who never even touched a Nokia smartphone in their life. So here's our introduction to Nokia's newest version of it's classic platform. We hope you will like it!

Everybody likes getting a present, so no wonder we like this one a lot, the new Gallery Nokia published today on
Nokia Conversations. You'll find the white version of the 808 PureView photographed from different angles and to us it simply looks great from everyangle. If you don't like to click on the link, you may find all the pictures below. For the original sizes, we ask you kindly to follow the link anyway.

We'd love to know how, but the guys at
handheldblog.com got their hands on the Nokia 808 PureView already a while ago. They decided to compare the video quality with that from the iPhone 4S, both in full HD. Now we know about the size of the 808 PureView´s sensor, so it´s an unfair battle, but it´s still nice to take this not yet released Nokia phone up against one of the most wide spread smartphones on the planet – and not a cheap one either. It's a short and simple video comparison, but just as effective.

A few days ago, Nokia published a nice promotional "time-lapse" video shot with the Nokia 808 PureView during the trip in South Africa where so many now famous pictures were taken. We didn't get to share that movie with you yet, so why not do it now?

The last days we have read a lot of positive reactions from India about to the rumoured price of the Nokia 808 PureView at Rs29.999 (€433). But now Nokia is spoiling that party a bit saying it is just a "dummy" price. The actual price will likely be higher than Rs 30K.

Nokia Egypt today has announced a contest on
Facebook: "Coming soon: zoom in & win Nokia 808 PureView". As of yet there are no more details, but if you live in the country, it might be worth your while to keep an eye on it... Good luck!

Nokia just uploaded a new video, "Towards Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1: New experiences at your fingertips". That's interesting because the Nokia 808 PureView will launch with this newest version of Nokia Belle. So without further ado, here it is:

The Finnish operator DNA will offer the Nokia 808 PureView soon. In Finland it works a a bit different than in many other countries. You pick the contract you want, and added to that, you will pay a monthly fee extra for the phone you choose. For the Nokia 808 PureView you will have to pay a monthly €23 for two years– independent from what kind of contract you choose. You can also choose a two year contract, than you will pay €45 every month, adding up to €540 for the 808 PureView.
